Summary: Excellent Follow up to Good Ol' Boys
Comment: I just had the sad occasion to finish The Smilin' Country. I wish there were more pages. I liked the chance to catch up with my old friend Hewey Calloway. It's four years later and Hewey is still learnin'about life. Always but not completely regretting his split from Spring Renfro, Hewey just cannot seem to make the tansition from a 20 yr old cowboy to 50 year old cowboy. The spirit is willin' but the ol' body doesn't work quite as well as before. I highly recommend any of Kelton's books, but this is even better than The Pumpkin Rollers, which I also enjoyed a great deal. With the passing of Louis L'Amour, westerns just don't get much better'n Kelton's.

Summary: THE SMILING COUNTRY WILL MAKE YOU SMILE!
Comment: What a great book. It is the story of part of the life of Hewey Calloway. One of the last of the true cowboys. He hates to see cars, trucks and telephone lines. He is, I think, really what most of the cowboys were like. It is not full of gun fights and running from the sheriff. He is a hard working man that moves on when he feels like it. A real good story. Has places that are sad and many places that will make you smile. The ending is very good. I just got a happy feeling from reading the book. Makes me wish I had been Hewey Calloway.

Summary: I liked everything about it.
Comment: Having been born in the first third of that century, and having worked with buckaroos that were contemporaries of Hewey Calloway, I couldn't get enough of Kelton's continuation of The Good Old Boys. He had to know those men who had a difficult time walking down a sidewalk but sat in a saddle like it was a rocking chair. They really existed! I wonder if Hewey would have carried a cell phone, or what he would think of Interstate 10? I thank Elmer for letting us revisit Hewey and Miss Renfro to see how things worked out. This book is wonderful
